"It's a miracle I'm here," said keynote speaker Maria Bello, star of "World Trade Center," in describing her hectic morning as a multi-tasking mom during which she finally got around to "shaving two-week old growth" under her arms.
"I still have two-week old growth," quipped fellow "World Trade Center" star Maggie Gyllenhaal, another keynote speaker who, like Bello, earned accolades for her role in the Oliver Stone-directed drama about the September 11 attacks.
The Hollywood Reporter named Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Corp (NYSE:SNE - news)'s Sony Pictures Entertainment, as the most powerful woman in Hollywood, followed by Anne Sweeney, president of Walt Disney Co's Disney-ABC Television Group. Judy McGrath, chairman and CEO of Viacom Inc's MTV Networks ranked third place.

Bello drew loud applause when she exclaimed: "I'd just like to say this: The speaker of the House is a chick!," referring to incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat.
